Also no AFHS in effect for heads up runs and Class Elimination events. Performance is the cornerstone of Class Racing. Please restore it.

As far as lowering the indexes is concerned, I personally don?t think it?s a great idea. If it happens, it happens. However, not all combos are going to recover no matter how much time and money you throw at them. I know that most don?t really care about the ?odd ball? slow cars that would be hardest hit by the indexes, but it?s flat out not fair to them. And NHRA has been pretty touch and go when it comes to asking for horsepower off.

Turning off the AHFS for class eliminations and heads up runs would really just be a glorified loophole around the exact times the AHFS is designed to work itself out.

I am not against the mineshaft rule. There are times when the weather creates fantasyland conditions that really can?t be used in determining how fast someone can go.
